15,000-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help stabilize and level your Renegade RV Explorer Motorhome. They also provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability. Easy to install and use.

Specs:
Whether you're hauling heavy loads in your bed or cargo area or you're towing a trailer, you will often see the rear of your vehicle sag while the front end rises. In these cases, the rear axle is handling not only the weight of the cargo, but also more of the vehicle's weight. Because less weight is on the front axle, the front tires are making less contact with the road. Overall handling - traction, steering, and braking - is negatively affected. But the resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with your factory suspension to keep your vehicle level and improve your driving experience.
The Timbren system comes with custom-fit brackets that are bolted onto each frame rail above the rear axle. Hollow rubber springs are bolted to the bottom of the bracket and hang down to where the bottom of the spring sits, 1" above the axle. The inch of clearance allows the existing factory suspension to operate normally under light loads and standard terrain, ensuring the smooth, comfortable ride that you are used to.
Timbren Suspension Enhancement Systems are designed to work progressively. When the hollow rubber springs are compressed, the convoluted design causes them to quickly collapse along the folds. Once the folds are compacted, the stacked barrel shape increases resistance, stiffening the suspension and keeping your vehicle level.
Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's side or passenger's side of your vehicle. This is helpful when you swerve or make sharp turns. Each spring is activated when it is needed, so body roll is greatly reduced. The independent action also works well when you are hauling off-center loads.
Because the vehicle handles better with the springs, less turbulence will be passed along to the trailer, and this helps to keep the trailer in line. Your driving comfort is further enhanced if the trailer does begin to sway (from a gust of wind or a passing semi), because the movement from the trailer is not transferred to your vehicle. This also works to make the sway subside more quickly.
Another great feature of the rubber construction is that the springs absorb most of the road shock, creating a smoother, more stable ride overall when loaded. Wear and tear on the factory suspension is also lessened because the rubber springs work to prevent bottoming out on rough roads.
Timbren's Suspension Enhancement Systems are much easier to install than air springs - there are no air hoses to run, no compressors or gauges to hook up, and no manual adjustments to make. The rubber construction makes Timbren's springs more elastic than similar products constructed of microcellular urethane. And more elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride when loaded or towing because the rubber has more travel.

Today, we're going to take a look at the Timbren rear suspension enhancement system. Now, having some Timbren springs in your vehicle is going to definitely help to reduce the vehicle sag and to reduce some of that road shock that we typically encounter whenever we have our truck loaded down pretty heavily. This is going to be a fit for some of your larger trucks. To make sure that this is a fit for you, you'll want to put in your year, make, and model, to the fit guide at etrailer.com. Go by that, and then that'll let you know if this is going to be a fit for your vehicle.It's a pretty easy install. We'll just have two bolts, and two washers, to attached our bracket onto our spring itself.
Then, the backside, you do have to drill through this bracket to line it up with your application. You might have to drill through the frame to get this installed. Typically, if you can get this plate to line up with some preexisting holes on your frame, that's the best bet to go through, instead of having to drill through all that hardened steel. The brackets are pretty thick. They're about almost half an inch, just about 3/8 of an inch thick.
It's a lot of steel to drill through. If you can use some preexisting holes, always going to be better.These are going to help to offset any off center loads that you might have. They're going to react independently. We also don't have to worry about any kind of maintenance with these. Since there's no air to monitor, we don't have to worry about them deflating over time.
They're just going to do a really good job of reducing that road shock, helping to relieve body roll, and all those other issues whenever we have our truck loaded down.It's going to be made of a very durable hollow rubber spring. Again, those just install directly onto the brackets. These have a capacity of 15,000 pounds. Now, that doesn't increase the payload of your vehicle. It's not going to make your vehicle able to handle 15,000 pounds more.
It's just going to support up to that amount of weight. You never want to exceed your vehicle's weight carrying capacity, and always go off of the manufacture's specifications when it comes to that. It does have a limited lifetime warranty from Timbren, and a satisfaction guarantee as well.As far as for the measurements for the brackets, overall they're about 9 3/4 inches wide. The base of our bracket is at least 9 inches wide. Sits out about 5 1/4 inches, almost 5 1/2 inches. The height is about 5 1/2 inches as well.So, pretty straightforward system. You do need to do some drilling to get these installed, but they're going to overall make the ride better in your truck and help you enjoy the road, instead of having to bump along. That's going to do it for our look at the Timbren rear suspension enhancement system.
Easy installation. Good quality.
Very easy to install took about 30 minutes. If it manages the weight of my trailer I will be more impressed with your product.
Fast shipping would definitely recommend
Perfect fit for my 2024 Toyota Tundra rear suspension. I tow a trailer every weekend and after installing this rear suspension suppport upgrade, no more squat or swag on truck bed
Very poor packaging. The box is coming apart and USPS reinforced it. Found out this product doesn,t work on a 2018 Winnebago Intent. It will cost me almost $[XX] to return it.
Very easy installation!
Installed this on my 2001 Explorer. Install is easy (assemble unit, bolt on in place of existing bump stop). Annoyed to find it doesn't fit. Specs are gap 1/2"-1-1/2"; there was a gap of 2-3/4". Yeah, they sell spacers for $27 each, but it's really annoying to buy a $225 product that says it fits your truck, only to find that you have to spend 50% more to actually adapt it to your truck!
Easy installation and perfect fit!
Part was reasonably priced and arrived early. Very happy with the process.
Customer service was great. Fast delivery. Very easy to install. 35 minutes it was done.
easy to install, Solved my trailer bouncing over bumps problem.
Service is great and product appears to function as advertised. For what it is seems like product is priced a little high. I'd be very surprised if it costs more than $20 to make them.
Very quick delivery, earlier than I expected. Easy to install. Just what was needed for rear weight support when pulling a trailer.
Great job. Will use etrailer again.
Great product there leveled the load and made tow way better.
Thanks
What a great product. This has made a night and day difference pulling a 5th wheel.
Really not sure it's doing anything. No noticeable difference when towing my camper.
Simple installation and the cost is gre at.
I bought a set for my F250 and like them so much that I bought a set for my F350. It prevents the vehicle from sagging in the rear when hauling towing heavy objects. Makes for a smoother and more stable riding experience.
I received my order within days. It was exactly as I expected. The product works as advertised. I am a now a lifelong customer of etrailer.com.
Ease of installation. Quality of produc t.
Very easy to install. I got the product in two days. Love etrailer products. THANKS.
These were delivered quickly and installed in minutes. I can't wait to give them a ride with my Airstream in tow.
Got them a day ago and installed the next day. Super easy installation.
Yes about one year ago i installed this product with excellent results so far.
